PRAYER MOMENT
Saturday 20 July 2013
THE SILENT SERVANT
Pause. Be still
for a moment.
Reading. “He will
not brawl or shout, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.” (Matt
12:14-21)
Reflection. In the
heart of his gospel Matthew quotes a servant song from Isaiah. The messiah will
achieve his mission quietly, like leaven. You will not hear his voice. The
transformation of my life is hardly noticeable – except perhaps after a long
time. You cannot watch the seed grow. But imperceptibly over time my life
changes and so does the world. The reign
of God comes quietly and one day we wake up and see the fruits.
Prayer. Grant me
the wisdom, Lord, to be patient with myself and with others. On the whole we
are all trying to do the best we can. Help us to believe that you are quietly
at work in our world. I may live to see change or I may not but change is
coming because you are at work. Amen.
